Insight

InSight was the name given to an OS development project which spanned July 1997 to January 1998. The InSight project attempted to build an entire OS from scratch, encorporating a wide range of new ideas and design concepts.
A few ex-InSight members went&on to contribute their work to other projects, such as KDE and GNOME. The InSight project eventually failed due to a lack of effort on behalf of its head coder, Ben J. Ciaccio, who ultimately had nothing to show for over 7 months worth of effort.

Insight is a molecular graphics suite of programs by MSI/Biosym which incorporates a lot of different methods for working with proteins in silico and doing computational chemistry. One can perform molecular dynamics calculations using various engines including Discover and charmm, the industry standard. Additionally, one can explore other aspects of computational biology such as molecular docking, electrostatics calculations, homology modelling for building proteins of unknown structure and many others.

Insight provides a nice graphical interface to these tools. This is particularly useful to biologists who do not want to write code themselves or get hung up on the sometimes nasty command line interfaces or scripting interfaces many of these programs normally use.

"Guess your dreams always end.
They don't rise up, just descend,
I don't care anymore,
I've lost the will to want more,
I'm not afraid not at all,
I watch them all as they fall,
But I remember when we were young".
